I made it a point to read the Wikipedia article about Quantum Entanglement today, to refresh my understanding of it and ensure I did not misinterpret my thoughts surrounding my recent thinking about our Universe and ourselves and our relationship with the Universe and each other.

Basically, I have thought about the possibility that we are a four-dimensional being who has projected into three dimensions. In other words, outside of our three dimensions, we are one in the same.

It's important to understand what that fourth dimension is: it is nothing less than time itself. And time is a very, very difficult concept to understand. And this is the most difficult aspect of my thinking on these things, as I have yet to be able to even begin to imagine experiencing this fourth dimension any other way than how we do: in three dimensions.

Do an experiment for yourself (as outlined in my video in this journal: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7842204/): take a clean sheet of paper and draw a circle with a pen or pencil. Then, with either a different color or something, attempt to draw a line from the center of the circle to the outside of the circle without crossing the line. You'll find it to be quite easy: just lift the pen when nearing the drawn circle and replace it on the paper outside of the circle and continue your line.

This is an example of using the fourth dimension to transit the third dimension. And there are, I believe, prominent examples of this very principle in our world that we have observed. Two of them are electron clouds, and quantum entanglement.

For those who have taken basic chemistry, did the electron cloud of Hydrogen, for example, ever strike you as odd and beyond explanation: that the single electron could be either in a cone on one side, or the other, but never between the two? Look down at your paper from the above experiment. Your line is both inside and outside the circle, but never cross the circle itself. Just like an electron cloud on Hydrogen!

So, if the fourth dimension is time, then the conclusion is that the electron removes itself from the three dimensional space on one side of the nucleus and travels to the other side through the fourth dimension: time!


Yeah, it's really freaky to think about. As I've said, I am trying to imagine how this works.


So, when I was reading this article on Quantum Entanglement, a paragraph really struck me: it mentioned the notion of observing the Universe:

In 2013, at the Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRIM) in Turin, Italy, researchers performed the first experimental test of Page and Wootters' ideas. Their result has been interpreted to confirm that time is an emergent phenomenon for internal observers but absent for external observers of the universe just as the Wheeler-DeWitt equation predicts.

In other words, the Universe exists as a three dimensional object experiencing time one moment at a time, but if you were outside of the Universe, time does not exist moment by moment, and you could observe the Universe as it has existed and will exist for all of its life.

Wow!


The focus of my thought experiements in this realm have been understanding the connection between humans. Quantum entanglement could explain why I and many others have experienced a form of non-verbal communication when taking hallucinogens and similar circumstances. In other words, we could be communicating with each other through time, through that fourth dimension.


Now, one further premise. I have already long ago thought through our existence as intelligent, self-aware, reasoning beings. All that we are, all that we sense about ourselves, is no more than energy riding upon our brains. We are the result of numerous systems working together and in tandem to craete a complex living being capable of being aware of itself, of learning, and of improving itself and its abilities. We are a hierarchy of systems, of connections.

Further, I have explored the mechanism underlying intelligence. It too is hierarchical. Our brains are made up of neurons, cells. But these cells do not determine our intelligence, the connections between them do. The brain functions by making connections.

Even further, I have theorized that humanity can connect in this manner and become vastly more intelligent; which makes perfect sense if you think about the effects of all humans working together to solve a single problem. And ultimately, I believe that facilitating this connection would mean the enlightenment, the awakening of the human species as one thinking machine with infinite capabilities.


But back to the Universe. A story I read recently revealed that there are bacteria and other microbial life forms that subsist off of the byproducts of radiation, which cleaves complex molecules into what the microbes can consume. But that got me thinking: life requries energy and building blocks. That's it. So why is it so impossible to imagine that there cannot be life that say, exists in the relative vacuum of space, using dark matter as its building blocks, and zero-point energy as its energy source (zero-point energy is the energy that does not slow down as the temperature drops and thus the molecular activity slows to nothing (absolute zero, nothing moves, an atom has no measureable energy.) And if this is possible, why is it not possible for these lifeforms to be able to communicate through, say, quantum entanglement?

Could the Universe itself be alive?


Let's go back to this time within and without the Universe thing and my thoughts on projection: what if the Universe were an experiment on some scientists work bench. It blinked into existence, and is "stuck" blinking in and out of existence. But what if this scientist figured out a way to project himself into this experiment. What if we are three dimensional projections of this scientist, trying to solve, from within, the problem of this Universe blinking in and out of existence?


What if we are "God", each and every one of us, and our failure to recognize this and work on attaining our potential is causing the Universe to fail once again, from our perspective, and that we will have to start all over again because we haven't gotten it right this time?

What if?

I don't know about you, but just thinking about even these strange possibilities makes me want to learn more and more, and explore these and any other idea.

And more than anything, it motivates me to leave behind EVERYTHING having to do with a society whose only reason for existence is to afford an opportunity for diseased humans, psychopaths, to exploit the planet and every other human so they can have a good time in the here and now: at your expense, at my expense, at everyone alive today's expense, and, perhaps, at the expense of the whole damn Universe itself.


Indeed, the notion of continuing life in the paradigm of industrialized society is truly, truly, one hell of an insane notion - don't you think?
